Title I, Part A Comparability Documents

Local educational agencies that receive Title I, Part A funding submit reports to show how they provide state and local resources in Title I schools that are comparable to the services provided in non-Title I schools.

Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides federal financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) to provide supplemental services to meet the educational needs of educationally disadvantaged children. The legislation requires LEAs to provide state and local resources in Title I schools that are comparable to the services provided in non-Title I schools.

Demonstrating comparability is a prerequisite for receiving Title I, Part A funds. Title I, Part A allocations are made annually, therefore comparability is an annual requirement.

This Web page provides information for LEAs to comply with the 2013-14 California Department of Education (CDE) comparability requirements. .
